I had prepared for a short jaunt out with veggies and sugar. (I have diabetes - low blood sugar.)

I just could not believe I was in tears about feeling that I had no choice but to go to a drive thru to fix my blood sugar!

How many people would cry over that?

I didn't go. And I just now remembered that I have sugar tablets in the car. I shouldn't have forgot, but I am not in this situation often.

And now that my sugar is at a good level, I can actually think of several alternatives...like going to a grocery store for fruit.

I REALLY want to loose the weight!!!! And a drive thru would NOT have helped me reach that goal!!

I am glad that I did not go. I eventually made it home. I ended up having to pick someone up and have them drive, cuz I was not able to drive safely. They live in the same area, so they were stuck too, but it was nice to have moral support.

Penny, I have to congratulate you! It is so obvious that you are in this for the long haul! You're right, very few people would have been tearful over the thought of having no other choice than a drive through for a burger. But you aren't most people. You are you, and incredibly determined individual who has made a commitment to herself to improve her life! You should be proud of that! I for one am VERY proud of you. And I'm so glad you came here to share your story! I for one will definitely think back on it when I am headed for the drive through. It's only 5 minutes in the car farther for me to get to the store, and it is a much wiser choice.

Opportunity is missed by most because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

You should not be ashamed or embarrassed at all! If you only knew some of the things that have brought me to tears, it might seem silly to you! But the thing is, we all have things and moments in our lives that make us emotional and affect us, and if that's how you felt at the time, don't be embarrassed about it! I think you did a great job! The construction alone would've been enough to send me over the edge.
